Step-by-Step Instruction

1. Prepare the Base: Crush the cornflakes into fine crumbs and mix them thoroughly with softened butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of an 18 cm cake pan lined with baking paper to form an even crust.

2. Chill the Base: Place the pan in the refrigerator to allow the crust to set firmly.

3. Soften the Gelatin: In a small bowl, soak the gelatin in cold water and let it bloom.

4. Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and well-integrated.

5. Egg Yolks Mixture: In another bowl, beat the egg yolks together with honey and sugar until thick and pale.

6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the cream cheese and yogurt blend. Ensure even consistency.

7. Gelatin Integration: Gently heat the gelatin until it dissolves completely. Stir it into the cream mixture while ensuring optimal distribution.

8. Stiffen with Egg Whites: Whip the egg whites to soft peaks and fold them gently into the cream mixture, maintaining the airy texture.

9. Fill the Mold: Pour the creamy mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

10. Berry Topping: Distribute an assortment of sliced fruits or berries over the top of the cream layer.

11. Refrigerate: Allow the cheesecake to chill in the fridge until fully set, typically taking a few hours.
